I am beginning to wonder if Putin's trust issues with some of his military brass are spilling over into the field.

Didn't know the word. Means either "dead" (dialectal, said of cattle) or "fallen" (like fruit or leaves dropped by the tree&quot . "Pad-" is a good, all purpose word for "fall" in Slavic.

Paliy was born in Kyiv and in 1993 refused to take the Ukrainian military oath, instead serving in the Russian Northern Fleet.

He died betraying his home country, Ukraine

"Colonel Sergey Sukharev, Russia’s 331st Airborne Regiment commander, has been eliminated in Ukraine.
He was directly responsible for the Ilovaisk massacre of 2014.
"

What a horrible person he grew up to be.
